Cloning test steps that use "Run TestCase" loses references

 

I've got two test suites. Suite A has test cases with steps that use "Run TestCase" to call cases in Suite B. All works fine.

 

I want to get this functionality into a different project. To do this, I:

 

  • clone Suite B (that's the one that has test cases that are being called) into Project 2 (a different, existing project)
  • save Project 2
  • clone Suite A into Project 2

At this point, I'm prompted about the missing test case references, but I continue (there are way too many).

 

When I open one of the "Run TestCase" test steps in Project 2, there is no target test case. It has lost the reference.

 

I believe that this used to magically work at some release prior to 2.0. 

 

In an effort to modularize, I use "Run TestCase" steps a lot in my projects, so this severely limits the reusability of those projects.

 

Ideas? 

 

Thanks,

David
